Re: how to give shell access to iTools FTP user?

[eyang@xxxxxxxxx (Eric Yang)]

Hi Dan,

You can do this via the Terminal.

sudo niutil -destroyprop . /users/<username> shell

sudo niutil -createprop . /users/<username> shell /bin/tcsh

This will make the user System user, and allow remote login.

regards,

Eric
